You must have mistaken my post for an invitation to converse. It was not.

Good day.


Soooo GourmetDan, are you going to share your secrets/techniques, and just as important, does it work for other liberals as well? ;)

Mine is not the technique, but the anti-technique.

The technique is to publicly request no contact and then start using veiled references to try and make a point against the better argument without inviting a direct response. This insulates the lesser argument from direct refutation and gives it an excuse to complain if a violation is perceived (P=1).

It's the new evo tactic of completely removing the goalposts, rather than the usual tactic of just shifting them around.

Watch for it.
